The Andrew & Noah Band

Powerful songwriting, explosive improvisation, deep dance grooves and a unique vision for the future of American roots music. That's what the Andrew & Noah Band is bringing to festival stages, concert halls, living rooms and dance floors all over North America. Their core material, written by brothers Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, might best be described as Americana Groove: a mix of Appalachian, Celtic, classic Country and Bluegrass, Jazz and Swing, Cajun / Zydeco, Alternative Folk, Roots Rock and various world music influences. The full seven-piece band features fiddle, accordion, mandolin, saxophone, guitars, bass, drums and three-part harmony vocals. Music that captures the memory of what we had, the urgency of where we are and the beat to keep you moving all night long.

Andrew & Noah are DIY musicians with some hard-earned credentials. They've been featured performers at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Lake Eden Arts Festival, Old Songs Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, KVMR Celtic Festival, Suwannee Springfest, Blackpot Festival and many others. They've toured extensively, often playing for contra dances as The Great Bear Trio with their mom Kim on piano. They've taught at various music camps including Ashokan Fiddle & Dance, CDSS Pinewoods and the Augusta Heritage Center. Andrew is also the program coordinator for the annual Ashokan Guitar Camp. They performed live on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" when they were in their teens. They maintain their own independent label (Great Bear Records) and produce an annual music and dance festival in Oswego, NY called The Groove.
